This tea is great with a middle eastern breakfast,pound cake or tea biscuits. Typically just sage or mint is used in tea in the mid east, but I use both sage and mint together. Its my trademark beverage, which everyone always brags about, but you can use just mint or just sage, depends on your preferrence. Sage tea is used often in the mid east for its medicinal purposes, such as upset stomach, alieve cramps e.t.c.
